WOW. That is simply amazing. He looks like he has springs on his feet. I am just blown away.

Maybe he just used jumpsoles?

Just kidding :P

PS. I meant Squatflex.

i jump best also up to 3-5mins after a pick up game. sprints/submax jumps.. its all there and it gets your blood flowing better when you're chasing somebody. you can try to mimic the "game" attitude on your drills but that's not as easy or fun or as the real thing.




100% correct.

Just when I said your vert seemed to have stopped, you come in and do this. :ninja: :headbang: :highfive: :ibjumping:

Getting that head closer and closer to the rim aren't "we"?

Any ideas why has your vert "suddenly" increased? Any particular reason or just good ol' plain consistency?

One can only wonder how much you could squat low bar.

Why the -1 rating?

Well when I did my squat sets last friday I wasn't bounding or doing any plyos (it was raining so I couldn't) and yet 6 reps was a lot to deal with. It doesn't make sense for the bar to feel as heavy on the back either.

UNLESS MY INJURY IS NOT 100% recovered from. I don't know. Could the KB swings take so much out of me? Just 3 sets of 10 every day? I mean wtf?

Truth be told, it kinda feels that way, but still.

360 x 5 = 405

dammit! 1RM calculators are surely underestimating my 1RM... I SUCK at repping out, that's probably why.
At 330 for 10x3 I maxed out 415...

How bout 365x5? I'm about to attempt it in a few hours. I think I'll get it on camera.

I think that's actually a good thing... sucking at repping out should mean you're mostly a fast-twitch guy so...

raptor for ur height ur stride seems to be pretty short...

Oh yeah I know, it's just my "natural" way of sprinting. I can't just think about it, I just unfold whatever I feel like, instinctively, to generate maximum speed.

And as long as I can remember, that's been very high frequency, low stride length. If I would think to increase the stride length I'd probably get desynchronized and mess the sprint up.

Yeah I think that's a good point...

Even if I keep on doing all the stuff I'm currently doing, I should adapt eventually. We'll see how it goes...

My crow waking me up at 5:56 AM due to ... "singing" doesn't help either. I got out of bed at 11:00 but still... it's more of a muscular thing than CNS I think at this point.

Nah I don't think so. I mean, I already "lost" one full month with no training whatsoever so... hopefully the body will adapt and it's just the stress/soreness that the body is not used to YET.

But that squat... how can it be such a big difference doesn't make any sense. Maybe different bars (these are kinda rusty so the rotating ends rotate less... maybe that's a factor). But the thing is - as soon as I get the bar on my back it feels like 2 times (literally) vs. the ones in the commercial gym.

There I could do 100x10 with no BIG problems, and here I struggle to get 5 reps. WTF?
